Jalen Guyton - First TD of 2021 Guyton caught all four of his targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.
Impact Guyton made an impressive 44-yard catch against man coverage, coming down with a nifty jump ball for his first score of the 2021 season. The rarely utilized wide receiver also saw his most targets since Week 6, capitalizing on quarterback Justin Herbert's willingness to spread the ball around Sunday. Don't expect Guyton to emerge as a crucial target most weeks as the Chargers have become heavily dependent on a narrow target tree of Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Austin Ekeler.

Keenan Allen - Snares two touchdowns Allen tallied four catches on eight targets for 34 yards and two touchdowns in the Chargers' 41-22 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Impact It's a bit disappointing that in Allen's first game with a touchdown since Week 8 he suddenly saw his fewest targets since mid-October, but he did see a team high in looks as quarterback Justin Herbert spread the ball around plenty. It'll be interesting to see the type of workload Allen will receive next week against a hapless Giants team that did not have starting quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) and also saw backup Mike Glennon leave Sunday's matchup with a concussion. Facing an opponent possibly down to its third-string signal caller entering Week 14, the Chargers offense, and by default Allen, could be utilized less against a suddenly toothless New York lineup.

Mike Williams - Back over 100 yards receiving Williams caught five of seven targets for 110 yards in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.
Impact Williams' 47-yard reception marked just his second 40-plus yard catch since Week 10. Not coincidentally, Sunday's game was also just the second since early October during which the big-bodied target went over 90 receiving yards in a contest. While his second half of the season has been devoid of touchdowns, it's encouraging to see Williams rack up at least six targets in four consecutive games after a near month-long stretch during which he averaged just five. Williams will look to build on the momentum when the Chargers take on the struggling Giants in Week 14.

Austin Ekeler - Two fumbles in win Ekeler carried the ball 14 times for 59 yards and a touchdown and caught all five of his targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals. He also lost two fumbles.
Impact Ekeler uncharacteristically fumbled twice, losing control of the ball immediately after securing receptions in both the second and third quarter. Those miscues lessened what should have been another stellar fantasy day considering the multi-talented back scored a touchdown in his fourth consecutive game. Ekeler has admitted this season's additional workload has been challenging, but with the Chargers struggling to find any sort of reliable change-of-pace option, expect the 26-year-old to continue shouldering the heavy majority of the load out of the backfield.
